What aspect of the gaming industry interests you? There are hundreds of jobs involved with making games:
Programmers, game designers, modelers, concept artists, level designers etc etc. |

It depends on what aspect of video games you want to design. There are different departments that work together. You have the people who make the story lines, those who do the graphic arts, the programmers, etc. These are the things to look into when looking at college programs.

the general field of study is Game Design, though there are many, many aspects to game design, from creative design to computer science to graphic art and music composition or theory. People generally don't study all of them.

The general term is games developer.
It really depends on which aspect of the game you wish to be involved with, especially if you're aiming to work for a larger company. (Take a good look at the credits of a big title game to get an idea of just how many people are involved and see which title interest you.) First off, you need to decide if you want to be involved in the development or publishing i.e. do you want to make the game or sell the game. (There is more money in publishing, but it also far more competitive.) Developers: Design - Concept artists, graphic design Script - Creative writing, media & communication sciences Programming - Standard software programming Voice Acting - theater and drama If you wish to be independent and start on your own or a small group then software programming and graphic design might be the way to go. Publishers: Pretty much any field that involves money in someway - Accounting, economics, marketing, advertising even psychology and social studies. However, to become a publicist, a degree in Marketing and a minor in economic might be the way to go. |
